In announcing his candidacy, Fry said that, as a former employee, he has "an insight into the problems and needs of the employees of the borough." And, as a resident for 50 years, he is aware of the problems and needs of the residents.

"Although I retired from the borough asa full-time employee, I have not retired my interest and concern for the borough," he said. "I still have a strong interest in the community and its welfare and would like to use my experience to help continue to make Fountain Hill a better community in which to work and live."

Fry is a life member of the Fountain Hill Hose Co. and the Fireman's Relief Association.

He helped organize the Fountain Hill Little League 30 years ago.

He and his wife, the former Patricia Gahagan, are parents of two sons, John, president of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp., and Wallace Jr., criminal investigator with the borough police department.
